 * __ CITING YOUR SOURCES __**
 * To //__plagiarize__// means to take another author’s work, ideas, or words and use them as your own. This is illegal and can result in not only a zero on the assignment, but serious consequences with school and the law!
 * In order to avoid plagiarizing, make sure you know how to give proper credit to your online sources. Below is an example of how to cite online sources. //**__NOTE: A real works cited page will not have numbers in the sources! Ms. Vehr did this so you could understand what everything is!__**//

//**6.**// Bicycle riding is a very popular activity in the United States today, and “ is the leading cause of recreational sports injuries treated in emergency departments” //**7.**// (Bull, et all, 2001).
 * In addition to having a “Works Cited” page at the end of your paper, you must also cite your sources in the text. When you use an author’s research, put quotes around the borrowed fact and list the author’s name, as well as when the article was written.

1. Author’s name goes first. If there are multiple authors, list the first alphabetically 2. Date the article was written 3. Website title 4. Date //__you__// accessed the site 5. Web address
 * __COMMENTS:__**

6. I added the author’s words with my own comments, but put the author’s words in quotes. 7. First author’s last name, followed by “et all” because there are many authors. Notice that the period comes __**AFTER**__ the citation.
